Was this an adrenal crisis?

I'm super newly diagnosed with secondary adrenal insufficiency likely stemming from a pituitary microadenoma which was found a week and a half ago. My first ACTH stimulation test is scheduled in 4 days.

Last night I was at a wedding event and I suddenly had a sharp mid-abdomenal pain and started getting extremely fatigued, dizzy, and lightheaded. It then progressed quickly to nausea and disorientation and I was on the verge of passing out and throwing up. For the next few minutes I was in a cold sweat and couldn't open my eyes fully or speak and it only stopped when my husband got me some water.

I don't have any medication prescriptions for this yet and this has never happened this drastically before. Was this an adrenal crisis event and if it happens again, what should I do? TIA!
